As @Dan touches on in his comments there is a built in tool for migrating account from cPanel to Plesk.

Prerequisites


Your cPanel version is 9, 10, 11, 11.5
The destination server is running Plesk for Linux
Your Plesk version is 10.4.4 or higher with the latest updates installed
The Migration & Transfer Manager component is installed on the Plesk server
The Plesk server has at least one shared IP address and the same number of dedicated IP addresses as on the source cPanel server
Plesk has Mailman mailing list manager installed and configured (only required if the source cPanel server hosts mailing lists)
The source server accepts SSH connections from the destination server and password authentication for user root is enabled in the SSH server's configuration (see Knowledge Base article #115625 for details);
SELinux is disabled on the destination server (only for the duration of the migration process)
Optional: The Plesk server uses the same path to the virtual hosts directory as the source server (see instructions on how to change the path).


Migrating Objects and Settings

Plesk and cPanel have different business models and features, requiring the conversion of migrated objects during deployment on the destination server. For example, cPanel's parked domains are converted to domain aliases in Plesk.

Some objects and settings cannot be migrated due to technical limitations. For example, passwords for FTP users are not migrated because they are encrypted by cPanel. Plesk generates new passwords for FTP users during the deployment process and reports them in the migration results report.

The step by step guide at kb.plesk.com/en/115612 will run you through how do do the transfer of all objects and settings from cPanel to Plesk.
